The slippage would be impossible to see with the naked eye. The only way to check slippage is locate TDC on #1 piston using a stop or dial indicator through the spark plug hole and comparing the TDC mark on the balancer to the "0" on the timing chain cover. Good luck.

he's been down that road wink
